Staying close to your luxury vacation villa is a treat during the holidays. There are so many yuletide activities going on around the Kissimmee area, you can experience all the joys of the season without having to sit in the car for long drives. Here are a few off-the-beaten path ideas that will make your family yuletide 2018 extra special.

Hauntingly Historic Ghost Tour

Did you know that the nearby town of St. Cloud has a history of ghosts lurking about? This is your family's chance to meet them. During Hipstoric–An Amaryllis Christmas, Kissimmee Paranormal Investigations will guide you a walking ghost tour in downtown St. Cloud. This tour will feature multiple stops where you'll learn about the historical facts as well as the ghosts of the haunted buildings. Admission includes a goodie bag as well as a free wine or beer from Brews N' Blues. December 21st, 2018.

Sports and Sweaters

Tis' the season to bust out the ugly sweaters. Don't forget to pack yours! Mix your love of ugly Christmas sweaters with your love of sports with the Orlando Seawolves. Head to the Silver Spurs Arena for an exciting game of professional indoor soccer (this night they take on the Mississauga MetroStars) wearing your favorite ugly sweater and pose for a picture with your favorite Seawolves player. Perfect for a Christmas Card snapshot to show your loved ones back home. Go Seawolves! December 22, 2018.

Snow in Celebration

Christmas in Orlando is celebrated in a typically traditional style at Celebration Town. This charming town's main event, which thrills (and chills!) everyone, is the Nightly Snowfall. Soap snow, better known as "Snoap" is blasted out of the street lanterns high into the sky before fluttering back down, landing gently on Market Street. For children who have never seen snow, it's a truly magical experience. You can have a lovely dinner and shop for gifts and souvenirs here, as well. Nightly Snowfalls are at 6, 7, 8 and 9 PM, now through December 31.

Lights on Jeater Bend

This event is an all-singing-and-dancing street-wide Christmas light display that you and your family should not miss. The Lights on Jeater Bend in Celebration, features homes lit in perfect synchronization to the beats of music, giving you an awesome 360 degree dose of Christmas sparkle. Enjoy snippets of classic holiday films displayed on a large screen and falling snow flurries. And, who better to meet during this charming holiday event than the characters from Frozen? Delight your kids as they get their photographs taken with none other than Anna, Elsa and Olaf! Runs now through January 1, 2019.

New Year's Eve at Topgolf

Orlando's Topgolf will ring in 2019 by throwing one of the biggest parties of the year. Enjoy live entertainment, a chef-inspired menu and an unforgettable midnight celebration.
